For me I think it would be the Burlington County Mall. I remembered going there once as a kid. A decade later, I saw a picture of how abandoned it was, and that led me down a rabbit hole into seeing how other malls are doing.

How did you begin?

It’s the (now closed) Lakeforest Mall in Maryland for me. In 2021 I was living in Northern Virginia and thought I should cross the river and see this mall. It seemed to be stuck in the COVID era while other malls in Greater DC (Tysons Corner Center etc.) had bounced back. Then I did some research and found out that Lakeforest was not doing well even before COVID.
